Indeed it is, but how about we do this instead?

Subject: sched,mips,ia64: Remove __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW
Kirill found that there's a subtle race in the
__ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW code, and instead of fixing it, remove the
entire exception because neither arch that uses it seems to actually
still require it.
Boot tested on mips64el (qemu) only.

You might also want to clean up any references to the define if you remove it.
Documentation/scheduler/sched-arch.txt:you must `#define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW` in a header file
arch/blackfin/kernel/entry.S: * since Blackfin does not define __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW, so
